Interestingly enough in Texas, there is (or was, they might have changed
it) no _state_ law prohibiting going shirtless, men or women.
Considering how hot it gets down there in the summertime, if they
prohibited men from working shirtless, nothing done outside would ever
get done, and you simply can't discriminate against women while allowing
men to do what is prohibited of women. Of course there's various city
ordnances against it, but hey, once outside of city limits if a gal
wants to take her top of, to breastfeed or not, that's her business. For
sure it can shorten the wait when hitchhiking...

No, seriously!

But stupidity mode off - I really can't see the point in criminalising
something so essentially natural as breastfeeding; it's bad enough that
some places are trying to outlaw midwifery and require all children to
be born in hospitals.
